Scheduled for July 19, 2026, at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, the show will feature a lineup chosen by Coldplay’s lead singer, Chris Martin, and the band’s manager, Phil Harvey. FIFA president Gianni Infantino shared the big news, highlighting the significance of this historic moment for the global sporting event.
